Does anyone know if its safe to use the auth code as soon as we get it or will we need to wait til launch? This is the paranoid side of my mind asking after thinking up every conceivable problem that might happen. :S

Should be fine to use straight away to make your account as I did this for my online pre-purchase.

bah! havent heard from my Third party retailer yet. tho i have sent a mail asking when it gets there. but they usually have good delivery so, and if i read corrctly, the code i wrote will apply to the 3 days headstart.

Damn Gamestop, yeah have to wait for the 28th, but its ok....I hope i did pay in full, and then some how, my girlfriend threw out my reciept. I was pissed but i have lost reciepts before. I should be good.....

You know what I got my client all set and up to date. Then went into beta today, it told me that my Graphics drivers run like crap from what they have seen. so i updated my drivers, something went wrong, and windows wouldn't open. it crashed like 4 times i system restored, and it said it had the best place, and only had to delete one thing. so i said fine do it comp just freaking start. then it started, and worked fine mean while this was all during todays stress test. So i was in a rush.....i look around for 5 mins before i find out the one thing the come delelted was my full client install from gw2 website. I was so pissed. But i still had the beta client, so it was ok. but i ahve to re download the full client be for Saturday!

Retarded corporations don't know about the preorder special apparently. :/ Sucks to be you, mate.

Placeholder signature is placeholder and will hopefully make me finish my shit.
Oh yeah, I'm a Druid and stuff.
I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall.
